Grand Theft Auto V

[Shiny]

Those graphics look just too good to be true. Especially dat water.

So, it seems Game Informer (you know, the magazine GameStop tries to get you to subscribe to each time you buy something) will be featuring GTA V in December's issue. Looks like we are finally getting some information about it!

While on the topic of GameStop, apparently they had a release date of March 1st on their website, which was quickly pulled down. This date actually does make sense since all of Rockstar's recent major games (Max Payne, L.A. Noire, Red Dead Redemption) have been released around early-mid spring. Hope this is true, then we are just a few months away from blowing up stuff in San Andreas (again).

I do hope it's true. There aren't many games coming out at that time so I'll be glad if this one releases Early-Mid Spring rather than Early-Mid November like everything else.

[Yoshi648]

So, Rockstar uploaded the first piece of artwork for GTA V. Looks pretty cool, and desktop wallpaper sizes are available.

But more importantly is the bit on that page that says "Lots of info coming next month. Get ready."

MY BODY IS READY.

Also random note, next Friday is November 2nd. It's been almost exactly one year since GTA V was officially announced and the first trailer shown.

So much double posting, need to spam it all.

A videogame store in England recently got this in the mail:



That's right, a promotional poster for GTA V. Important bits include a release date of Spring 2013 (again, aligning up with previous predictions) and listings of the Xbox 360 and PS3 logos (this doesn't necessarily mean there won't be a PC version, just not at launch).

Well, hope my 360 is up for countless hours of exploding stuff


Also on a some-what related note, GTA Vice City turns 10 years old next month and Rockstar is celebrating by releasing Vice City on iOS and Android devices (like they did back when GTA III turned 10).

I won't be pre-ordering, but I definitely will pick it up sometime after launch.

One more game to my list.

The guy from take two talks about how it seems likely that there will be some DLC to go with V much as there was two on four. He did leave the announcement of date and what not to the people over at Rockstar.

We also might see some preorders for this game, so keep your eyes out.

[Yoshi648]

Yes, forgot to update this thread recently with all the new stuff. A lot of artwork has been revealed, and we are looking at a Spring 2013 release on the Xbox 360 and PS3. People in the UK get a pre-order bonus of the viewfinder as seen in that post Greenman linked to, along with a poster. Rockstar also had a second trailer to release soon but it has been delayed for an un-specified amount of time due to the hurricane and storms in the East cost resulting in power outages on November 14th.

More details of all of the above can be found here.

[Yoshi648]

Lots of info coming out today! There's lots of stuff so I'll just point you to this which goes into detail about everything.

[Yoshi648]

The second trailer has been released today and IT IS AWESOME.

Here we can see our three main characters and more into their lives. Also get more of a sense of just how big San Andreas is this time around. Oh, and lots of explosions. Can't have a GTA without those

Favorite lines:
Trevor: I'll swing by and sign the contracts alright, just ignore the bodies.

Michael's son: Hey let's bounce.
Michael: Bounce...we're bouncing now.

Michael: That's Trevor, my best friend. That's Franklin, the son I always wanted.
Franklin: Yeah whatever.
Trevor: Jesus, your therapist has a lot to answer for.

[PureAurorae]

I couldn't help but crack a smile when Trevor burns down that house and just casually walks away.

[Yoshi648]

Rockstar gives us a holiday present of five more pictures from GTA V:

Pics within    

As mentioned before, we can swim around in the water (previously seen in San Andreas). Here we have a nice cuddly shark to play with.





Can't have underwater exploration without a mini submarine.





Franklin rolling with his dog Chomp. WE CAN DRIVE AROUND WITH DOGS IN OUR CARS, BEST GAME EVER!





Un-suspicious Hydra is un-suspicious.





And finally our three protagonists getting possibly an important phone call.

[Yoshi648]

Well got some good news, and some bad news.

Bad news: The game has been delayed until the fall.
Good news: A little extra time to final polish a game isn't always a bad thing, and we got an exact release date of September 17th.

Also from previous reports, we should be seeing the box art soon.

This quite a shame but I guess they need to make sure the game is as good as it can be. Well at least we have a release date now which is good.
